Frequently Asked Questions About Elver's Payroll Services
What income do I need to include in my self assessment?
All untaxed income must be included. This typically covers online sales, dividends, directors’ salaries, capital gains, interest, and rental income. We make sure nothing’s missed and everything is categorised correctly.
Can I claim expenses related to my e-commerce activity?
Yes. You may be able to claim for software, home office use, subscriptions, travel, and other business-related costs. We’ll help identify what’s allowable based on your setup.
What if I get something wrong or HMRC contacts me?
We review all returns for accuracy and submit them correctly the first time. If HMRC does get in touch, we liaise with them on your behalf to resolve it quickly.
How much do your self assessment services cost?
We offer fixed-fee pricing based on your income complexity. There are no hidden charges, and we’ll confirm the fee up front before we begin work.
What are the penalties for missing the self-assessment deadline or filing incorrectly?
If you miss the 31 January deadline, HMRC will issue an automatic £100 late filing penalty, even if you don’t owe any tax. Further delays can lead to daily fines, interest on unpaid tax, and larger penalties. Mistakes on your return, even if unintentional, can also trigger penalties or compliance checks. We help you avoid all of that by getting it right and on time.
